About these lifestyle questions
Habit and personality pairs — morning or night, planner or improviser, minimal or maximal. These are the closest This or That gets to a personality quiz, and they are the ones people quote back at each other afterwards. Because the answers say something about how a person runs their day, this is the set that turns a fast game into an actual conversation.
Best for: New housemates, new couples, team retreats, and anyone about to share a space or a schedule.
- → Ask a housemate or partner to guess your answer first. The misses are the interesting part.

How to Play This or That
This or That is a two-option choice game with no scoring and no losing. One player reads a pair, everyone answers immediately, and the game moves on. It is the fastest way to get a silent room talking because there is nothing to think about and no wrong answer.
The rules
- Read a pair out loud: option A or option B.
- Everyone answers within about two seconds — instinct only, no explaining.
- Ask "why?" on any pair that splits the room. That is where the conversation starts.
- Move to the next pair immediately. Pace is what makes this game work.
Ways to change it up
- Split the room. Option A stands to the left, option B to the right. Works with any group size and burns off energy.
- Guess the answer. One player predicts what another will choose before they answer. A point per correct guess.
- Rapid fire. Ten pairs in a row against a timer. Anyone who hesitates or explains is out.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on this page?
30 pairs, all shown in full on this page.
How long does a game take?
About two seconds per pair, so a full round of this list takes only a few minutes. That makes it the right game for a warm-up slot or a gap between activities rather than a whole evening.
How many players do you need?
Two is enough and there is no upper limit. For large groups, have option A stand on one side of the room and option B on the other — everyone answers at once and you can see the split instantly.
